src="http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/grant/juniper.gif"></a> My main extracurricular activity is now playing
with and caring for my daughter, <!WA21><!WA21><!WA21><!WA21><!WA21><!WA21><!WA21><!WA21><a href="http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/grant/isis/">Isis</a>.  I thought
it might be a neat idea to start a <!WA22><!WA22><!WA22><!WA22><!WA22><!WA22><!WA22><!WA22><A
HREF="http://www.pass.wayne.edu/~dan/bonsai.html">bonsai tree</A> that
would then be as old as she was, so I've planted a seed of a neat
little tree with tiny oranges.  So that I can get good pictures of my
daugther, I've taken an interest in <!WA23><!WA23><!WA23><!WA23><!WA23><!WA23><!WA23><!WA23><a

<p>Since the birth of my daughter, I've also become much more

office (over the web!), I listen to the local classical station, <!WA31><!WA31><!WA31><!WA31><!WA31><!WA31><!WA31><!WA31><a

(Chinese chess)</a> and liked it quite a bit, but I haven't played it much
since I got back to the US.  If I ever have the time, I'd like to try
to write fantasy and science-fiction stories (or even novels!).
